Federal judges, particularly those appointed to the ATRC, bring far deeper judicial and legal experience than many of the recently installed immigration judges, who often lack immigration or judicial experience. Second, federal judges are better positioned to rule on the legal questions presented in ATRC proceedings than immigration judges or DHS officers.

The New York-Federal Plaza Immigration Court falls under the jurisdiction of the Executive Office for Immigration Review, a sub-agency of the US Department of Justice.
